Action-packed Sci-Fi. Whimsical AF Fantasy.

My aim is big inclusive adventures with characters who make the reader care. I've been writing the adventures and characters for years. Connecting these stories with the right readers is my job now.  

I've published four books in the Hide & Seek series so far. Please use the contact form above if you'd like to receive a free review copy.

Thanks for stopping by. Thanks for reading.

Take care out there,

​he/him

Z Jeffries appreciates and sends love to every reader of every word he writes, even this one. This dad, husband, and dogfather is the author of the Hide & Seek teen sci-fi series. He's written plays performed by and in small theatres across the country, and has published some of those, some poetry, and some wicked dark adult fiction (dun-dun-DUN) under other made-up names. He writes exciting adventures brimming with inclusivity, heart, and imagination for nerdy readers of all ages.
 

Inclusivity

Imagination

We live in a diverse world and literature is just now coming around to showcase this. While I'm not interested in comandeering the experiences of others, I do prioritize a diverse cast of characters in each novel. Humanity is wierd and eclectic. So're my characters.
I also recognize I have inherent cultural biases I'm working to remove from my psyche, and  will mess a representation up. Sel-publishing affords me the control to change it once it's brought to my attention. 

I love adventure stories. And I feel YA has that sense of adventure, that wonder, that whimsy, that jazzed up feeling only teens can get from breaking rules or standing up to authority. Maybe that's where we're universally the most adventurous. 
​Or maybe that's just what I like writing.
